Title: Drupal
Post by: Gaffers on 04 May 2010, 16:07:39
I know this forum works off YaBB but has anyone any experience of Drupal?  I have been approached by a sailing group to setup and maintain a website for them with web pages of info, a shop, forum, image gallery, etc and Drupal seems to tick all the right boxes.  My only concerns are that I dont know of it so I have no idea on performance, reliability, etc.

TIA  :y

for a newly starting site everything will be easy..

but OOF is running for a fairly long period that I'm sure disks are full.. and also data formats might be different which will need some script work and extra check after the transfer.. (and not counting the days oof needs to be offline)

wont worth imo..

No worries dude, have you used it before?  If so how did you find it?  It looks really good, but then so did Vista  ;D

pretty certain I set one up when we were thinking of expanding oof beyond the forum.  tried a few, including joomla (probably the best for the needs we had) before canning the idea.

Might still have the drupal one up and running somewhere, if you want a play....
